Optimization of packing factor for maximum electric power and crop yield in greenhouse integrated semi-transparent photo-voltaic thermal (GiSPVT) system in desert land: An experimental study
It is well known that food and energy requirement for human beings is increasing day by day due to the fast increase of population in the world.This can be met by (i) increasing the yield of crop per unit area, (ii) post-harvest losses, and (iii) using the barren land, which is about 19% for crop/vegetable production.The barren land consists of the
